Levenhuk M20 Large Planisphere

Dimensions: 8.3x12.2 in / 21x31 cm

A planisphere is a rotating star chart that quickly and easily helps you find out which celestial objects may be observed at your location, at a given date and time. While observing the night sky, our ancestors noticed that it constantly changes throughout the year. Due to the rotation of our planet (around the Sun and around its own axis), what we see on the celestial sphere varies as months go by, and even during the day! This realization led to the creation of a planisphere that allows people to locate the brightest astronomical objects at a specific date and time in future (or past) observations.

Levenhuk LP10 Cleaning Pen

Optics cleaning accessory

Cleaning the optical elements of your instruments is an extremely difficult task that requires a certain level of precision and expertise. Cleaning lenses, with their hair-thin intricate coatings, is even harder as you can easily damage such a thin coating just by accidentally touching it. Fortunately, there is now a tool for the job - the Levenhuk Cleaning Pen LP10 will clean all optical elements with care and ease.

The Levenhuk microfiber cleaning cloth was designed specifically for cleaning your optical instruments, whether they are microscopes, telescopes, binoculars, or scopes. With this soft cloth, you can carefully wipe lenses without scratching the coating. The fabric lifts dust, oil, and water without smears or streaks. This cloth may even be used for cleaning cameras and your eyeglasses. In just one wipe, your optics will be clean, with no dust, fingerprints, or oil smudges left behind. It is also worth mentioning that this cleaning cloth also wipes off all bacteria.

Levenhuk Skyline 90x900 EQ is a refractor with a large aperture. You will be able to see planets, double stars, globular clusters and diffuse nebulae. Uranus and Neptune appear in the form of small disks, but closer planets will be visible in more detail. For example, you will be able to distinguish Mars’ polar caps, the structure of sunspots and granulation on the Sun. Also, the telescope is good for lunar exploration if you want to see the craters. Under good conditions, all the Messier objects and bright NGC can be observed. The model is suitable for astrophotography.

Features:

The telescope has a factory default adjustment and does not require additional and frequent adjustment;

Contrast and sharp images in high resolution without chromatic aberration;

Highly detailed pictures even at large aperture;

Can be used for photographing the Moon and planets;

Suitable for both terrestrial and astronomical observations;

Ideal for planetary observations and observations of binary stars;

Suitable for beginners.

The kit includes:

Telescope optical tube (optical elements inside)

SUPER 25 and SUPER 10 eyepieces

Equatorial mount EQ2

Aluminum tripod

Diagonal mirror

User manual and lifetime warranty

The equatorial mount, as opposed to an azimuth one, when being hovered compensates for the rotation of the Earth and allows more precise tracking of astronomical objects, keeping them within sight through the eyepiece. This mount is perfect for astronomical observations and indispensable for astrophotography. The aluminum tripod has adjustable height.

Two achromatic eyepieces SUPER 10 and SUPER 25 with a 31.75-millimeter (1.25-inch) diameter are included in the package and serve as powerful image correction tools. The optics used in the eyepiece are glass with a special coating. Field of view is 50-52 degrees.

Hello! I've recently bought a telescope and I have some difficulties with using finderscope - the image is inverted and mirrored at the same time. So is there any possibility to make it at least not inverted? Do you have any other models that give direct images? Thanks!Levenhuk Customer Service:All finderscopes work that way. The telescope is designed for observing celestial objects. And when observing the sky - it's not important if the image is inverted or mirrored.Ian Webb

(2013-10-17 01:28):
I've read about "connecting to your computer for control and display of images." does this model connect to a computer, if yes, how does this work? As a beginner, how will I know where to start looking? I read about a telescope that points itself at desired objects. Do any of the Levenhuk telescopes do that? Levenhuk Customer Service:Hi Ray,
Thanks for the question.
The Levenhuk Skyline 90x900 EQ Telescope does not allow connecting to a computer. You will need to track astronomical objects using their coordinates and adjusting the equatorial mount accordingly.
If you want a telescope that points itself at desired objects, I'd recommend to check out the Levenhuk SkyMatic 105 GT MAK Telescope which you may find here at https://www.levenhuk.com/products/levenhuk_skymatic_105gt_mak/
This is a Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with GoTo function which is capable of capturing one of 42,900 celestial objects stored in its memory with incredible accuracy.Rebecca

Hi! I want to know three things. 1) which eyepiece with the shortest focal length it's possible to purchase for this telescope (to observe nebulae); 2)Is it possible to use binoviewer with this model; 3) Why don't you have them on sale in your store?Levenhuk Customer Service:1. Consider Levenhuk Plossl 32 mm Eyepiece: https://www.levenhuk.com/products/eyepiece-levenhuk-plossl-32mm/ 2. It's possible in theory, but as you've already observed, we don't have binoviewers, so we can't try it to tell you for sure 3. Currently we don't have this productPaul Frandsen

Hello.
Why is it 39.7 lbs. at the top of the page? It should be lighter...
And here's another one: why is resolution threshold is so small (1.71") compared to analogues?Levenhuk Customer Service:This is the weight of the telescope packed in its factory box.
1.71" is an average resolution threshold for telescopes with such specifications.Rachael Kelsey
(2013-05-19 08:29):
I didn't get it. Answering one question you say that provided images are upright, answering another - that finderscope provides reversed images. Please clarify, it's very important to me!Levenhuk Customer Service:This telescope provides mirrored images, but not upside down.Rose Miller

(2013-03-03 02:13):
Please clarify the following: 1. Why is Levenhuk Skyline 90x900 EQ is better for lunar and planetary observations than Levenhuk Skyline 130x900 EQ? I mean I can't believe that the latter model provides images of poorer quality while observing planets. It has much greater aperture!
2. Which telescope provides images of higher quality: Levenhuk Skyline 90x900 EQ, Levenhuk Strike 950 PRO or Levenhuk Skylie PRO 90 MAK?
3. Is Levenhuk Strike 950 PRO appropriate for terrestrial observations? If so, what additional accessories should I have? The images are upright or inverted? (for terrestrial objects, planets)
Levenhuk Customer Service:1. Due to their optical design. refractors are much more suitable for planetary observations. You can find Levenhuk refractors here: https://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/telescopes-design-refractor-items/
2. Image quality and flexibility of use make the Levenhuk Skyline PRO 90 MAK an optimal choice.
3. You can use this telescope for terrestrial observations, but to see erect images you are going to need this accessory: https://www.levenhuk.com/products/45degree_erect_prisma_levenhuk_7517/
